$1000$ feet is $25/132$ miles

Explanation:

A mile has $8$ furlongs, each of which has $220$ yards i.e. a mile has $8xx220=1760$ yards. But as one yard has $3$ feet, one mile has $3xx1760=5280$ feet.

Hence $1000$ feet is $1000/5280$ miles. As numerator and denominator, both are divisible by $40$ .

$1000/5280=(25xx40)/(132xx40)=25/132$ miles
